    Freelander 2 (LR2) [FIXED] LR2 Suspected Turbo Failure

    Thanks so much! I have already replaced all boost hoses and still no joy. Intercooler looks a bit old and rusty so could be leaking but who knows. Do you think some smoke pellets would work? That looks like a great machine but a bit pricey! OK thanks for the info on mongoose readers. There's...

    Freelander 2 (LR2) [FIXED] LR2 Suspected Turbo Failure

    Hello HaggisMuncher! My 2008 FL2 has a similar problem. P0299 eml comes on and car drives fine for months but can't find anything obvious. Mine hasn't got a DPF and has 170k on the clock so could be egr/turbo due to age but the Cat is a very interesting find. May I ask how you were able to...

    EGR removal or Blank?

I have...

    How can I tell what Engine this defender has?

    I am looking to buy a Land Rover Defender 90! I have seen a J reg (1992) Hard top and the listing on autotrader says its a 2.5 tdi. So, Is this the 2.5tdi? or the 200tdi? I'm not sure which one it is and I don't really want to buy a 2.5TDI. Also, I'm pretty sure 2.5TDI were in Ninetys...
